Today in class we went over another prompt. We compared nationality to individuality. We also picked our position on the matter. We decided if we felt they were similar or not. We also decided which one we viewed to be more important. I picked individuality as more important. I also decided that nationality and individuality were somewhat connected. I don't believe that they work hand in hand but they are alike.
Today in class we learned about rhetorical devices. The first one we discussed was hyperbole, which is an exaggeration. The second was understatement. An understatement is the force of a descriptive statement that is less than what one would normally expect. Third we went over litotes, which are an emphasis on a point by using a word opposite to the condition. Fourth we learned antithesis, this makes use of a contrast in language to bring out a contrast in ideals. Lastly we were introduced to hypophora which is asking a question then proceeding to answer it.
